## La Mama: A Santa Fe Gem

Located steps from The Plaza, La Mama is a wine bar, restaurant, cafe and specialty market. By day this spot pulls fresh coffee and serves up full breakfast and lunch offerings. The lovingly rendered, light-filled 1915 bungalow has ground floor banquettes, a cozy mezzanine, a charming covered front porch and a convivial backyard patio.

By night, La Mama transforms into a delicious dinner hang out serving food crafted from local and seasonal ingredients alongside a full list of natural wines, local tap beers and an extensive selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Start your meal with house-made focaccia with whipped local-milk ricotta, organic chicken liver paté or lamb crepinette. Continue on to larger dishes like the veg-friendly winter squash gnocchi garnished with piñon dust or the confit duck with black lentils and chard. Finish it all with something sweet like the salt-baked apple.

    Excellent trout. Knowledgeable wine sommelier. Blue corn polenta needs better presentation.

    The food was imaginative and beautifully presented as well as delicious. Miguel made wonderful recommendations and took good care of us. When the weather warms up and patio dining is comfortable, the ambience will be 5 star was well. We will be back!

    Outstanding service, the food was great and we enjoyed a lovely rosé. We drink a lot of old growth wine, so it was fun to explore a newer wine and the sommelier was well-verses. We were impressed with the level of service. The only reason I didn’t give it five out of five is because I was seated in a place that had me looking at recycling bins all evening. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back.

    Our dinner experience would probably be me at described as an experience in simplicity and clean. It’s a store downstairs and their wares seem to be all European, which I love. The interior is a Scandinavian cool warmth. Upstairs is cozy but still scandi cool and simple. My mate had the pork land I had the duck- which was cooked to perfection. John, our waiter, is clearly personally invested in making sure that his guests have a wonderful meal. All the vegetables are hyper local. And for that reason, our arugula salad aaa one of the best I’ve probably ever had. Had I grown it and picked it myself only maybe could it have been fresher. Will def be going back.

    Food was tasty. Upstairs was unbearably warm and they could have opened windows to cool it off. Wine very good. We will try again.
